About Crystal Disk Mark
- Measure Sequential and Random Performance (Read/Write/Mix)
- Peak/Real World Performance Profile

Crystal Disk Mark 8.0 is in the spotlight. Just a bit of background information, higher capacity drives tend to perform a little better in these tests. The ability of a controller and flash memory to deliver high IOPS will provide huge benefits to the score as well. As manufacturer peak read and write performance ratings are usually achievable using Crystal Disk Mark, whether a drive lives up to its marketing claims or not can be validated by this program.
Crucial claims the P310 2230 2TB's maximum read and maximum write are pinned at 7100MB/s and 6000MB/s, respectively. Looking at the read and write results, the P310 2230 2TB was in the upper echelon in the sequential read and write sections against other PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives, which was expected per the specifications. The tested numbers were pretty close compared to the advertised numbers. However, it did not hold the line in the RND4K tests, where its results were quite a bit behind the other two tested M.2 2230 drives, the WD_BLACK SN770M 2TB and Lexar PLAY 1TB. It was still in the ballpark of other mainstream drives, which is fine because this is a mainstream drive. Overall, the Crucial P310 2230 2TB was awesome when it came to linear read and write, but was a bit lacking, despite being in the ballpark of other mainstream drives, in the sections that require higher IOPS. I will let you make your own comparisons in our list of NVMe SSDs in the graphs above.
